Can "find" be extended to search in paths
Hello, when we use ctrl+F it only searches the file/folder names, but can it be extended to search within the paths of those files and folders as well ?

If /red, were to find a file name that starts with 'red' (with / being an opening / - only [cause otherwise it's a wildcard character]), then maybe //red could find red in the Path part?

Yes.
If something like that were to be implemented (but as it does not, at present, so no

For now, Find will only search in the name column.
I have put on my TODO list to add an option to search full paths and other properties.
Thank you for the suggestions.
Pressing / in the result list will start a Quick Find.
A Quick Find is a mixture of a Find search and a Jump-to search.
